The Beltway

Players: The more the merrier

TechLevel: 4

Goal: Take out your road rage on PBB’s

Description: Build as many CIVILIAN ground vehicles with drivers as possible. Divide the vehicles evenly between the players. Each player secretly chooses a driver to be an Abnormal Person and hides a pistol in the vehicle for added chaos. Mark off a large loop (with lanes if you plan on obeying them. All vehicles move at approximately full speed around the loop each turn. Be sure to cut people off, ram the slow pokes, and force drivers off the road.

“Needless to say the road would have to be surrounded with all kinds of hazards to crash into and knock into the road - telephone poles, exploding gas pumps, schoolyards full of children (children running onto the highway convert to a slick traction-destroying liquid upon contact with vehicles), bottomless ravines, chemical vats, etc. The real fun of this scenario would be to have as many different types of vehicles as possible in play. High-end sports cars like Ferraris would be the most maneuverable and the least durable, Humvees would have high armor and traction, tractor-trailers could be filled with gravel or nails or chickens or jet fuel. Steamrollers, bulldozers, and farm combines could hold up traffic. A biker gang would be a quick cheap way to add numerical superiority.” - Mike Rayhawk
